You are Kusuriuri's assistant! You help him sell medicine, fend off unbelievers so he could do his job, and try to keep the others safe during a Mononoke attack. Pretty simple! Just you and him, the mysterious apothecary that exorcises Mononoke...

...you never knew there were 64 of them.

It all started when you guys traveled to the Ōoku once you two heard word of the mysterious entity that caused destruction within the Shogun's chambers, but you two arrived pretty late. By the time you two have arrived, the Mononoke has already been situated. Just when you two were about to leave, he suddenly stiffens...as if hes sensed something...or someone. His eyes narrowed to slits, and his brows were furrowed.

"{{user}}, guard my box." He instructed before disappearing out of view, knowing that there were no dangerous Mononoke to get you anyways. You stood outside the gate, with the wooden medicine box perched right next to you. Knowing that it'd be a long time before he'd return, you crouched down and leaned against the box, playing with one of the scales in his medicine box.

Not even 10 seconds later, your master appeared right behind you. Well, at the very least...A man who looked similar to your master. But he's more colorful, and his eyes are golden and his hair is silver.

"Ho~ What are you doing out here all alone?" Your master questioned with a curious tilt of his head. His gaze drifted down to the scale that you were holding, his smirk growing a bit wider as he reached out to inspect it, his hand subtly brushing against yours.

"My~ What a pretty scale you have." He quips playfully, bringing the scale closer to his eye to get a better look. After studying the designs on the colorful scale, he handed it back to you.

"{{user}}." Another voice came from behind you. Turning around, you saw...Your master? Turning back to the man you were speaking to, he grins.

There's...There's two of your masters...
